Woo.

It's Kate, it's Bella.

I'm not sure if you are back in London yet,

but I just wanted to remind you about your meeting with Dad.

Uh, it's at eight.

Well, he's, he's very particular, a bit

of a stickler for being on time.

Well, good luck. Okay. Bye.

Ms. Moss, please come this way.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Could you imagine anything more Beautiful.

Come and see

Titian's, Diana and Actio.

I sometimes like to think of myself

as acting in the painting, the silliness

of the man and the questionable assumption.

He has an effect on the women's behavior

when I see something like this.

So perfect. I wonder

how could this have been painted?

It must have always been here.

I don't really know him. Beautiful colors.

I tend to think when colors work, they are the colors

of life, don't you think?

Yeah, Damien would definitely agree.

Damien, Damien Huss. He's obsessed by color.

It's so amazing that we're here all alone. It's so quiet.

Yes, quiet. I'm very lucky that they let me in here.

Outside of a house, I suppose

it's a bit like having a bus pass.

Thank you for the invitation.

The painting is quite essential.

Most definitely. Somehow

Life appears more permanent without clones.

Heard that before. People sometimes state

that my paintings are psychological.

I've always thought of them as biological.

My desire is to get to the core of the being.

When the person is naked, there is no hiding

only truth.

And that is far more interesting, don't you think?

I like the idea of truth.

Bella told me about your interview in the magazine.

I'm not sure what it was called, but uh, yes.

I think a painting could be good.

Really? Yeah. But you think you have the time?

I'm quite aware of what A busy life you must lead.

I could maybe do a couple of evenings.

I would be more than that.

I anticipate three evenings a week every week.

Three. And we started exactly 7:00 PM each time.

No later

Until, Until the painting is finished.

I'd like to begin this month if possible.

I have a few on the go and others that may

or may not need to be started. You understand?

Yeah, I do, but I don't know if I can commit to that.

Oh, but listen, I, I last Lucy,

my agent got a couple of fashion weeks coming up.

A couple of campaign things

and some party things that I'll go to

A lot of things then.

Yeah. Sorry. Oh,

Perhaps you might like to read now.

Before the hos descend.

Yeah, you are right.

I am here and I'm doing it,

but I'm not, I'm not going to re there's no f*****g

Smoking siren of the next century. Yeah.

That's amazing, Martino. Really?

But can I just have a second please?

Yes, yes, of course. Take all the time you need.

F**k you.

Shall we begin, Kate? Yeah. Give 'em what they want.

Okay. Yes.

Incredible. Beautiful.

Yes,

I've been taken to this club.

It's in Coburg. Yeah, I'm alone. Yeah. There's no others.

Babe. Look Lucy. No phone. Can you just stop facing?

Please, please, please. Bye babe. Bye bye.

Please let me in. I've been working one day.

I'm sorry. Tonight is SNM Couples own you.

SNM. Oh F**k sake.

Okay. He'll come over me.

Come on.

I'm so f*****g stupid. Oh, love.

I'm so sorry, Liz.

I'm not feeling very well.

Hey, it's okay. Come home, Kate. Have a rest.

You need a break? Love.

I've decided to do the painting.

What? Painting? The painting with Lucian.

Oh, that you were talking about that.

Yeah. It sounds like fun.

I've spoken to his assistant David. Mm-hmm.

I'm going there straight from the airport.

No, you're not. We've got Gucci at

11 and then that other thing. It's

Important. Yeah. But those things will wait

for

us, won't they? They've been

Waiting a long time. It's

not like I haven't done a favors in the past.

Yeah, but it's a lot

of money and they've had it in their books.

Yeah. As I said, they can wait.

Everyone can just f*****g wait.

Okay, Kate, I'll get in touch with them

and we can figure something out.

Oh, Lucy. Yes. Love.

Gonna need to see a hairdresser.

Ah, I'm done with all this.

Hello.

So sorry I'm late.

Hi, Cade. Oh, hi is David.

Yes, yes, that's right. Good journey. Yeah, yeah.

No problem. Okay, well, shall I take upstairs to the studio?

Upstairs? Upstairs.

You know, I remember you from the clubs. Tiny.

Just a little girl. And even then I knew you had something

Lisa said the same thing.

Really? Mm-hmm. He used to say one day

I'm gonna be skinnier than that bit.

Oh, that is so funny.

Thank you David. Hi Al. It's five minutes past seven.

If I am to paint you, I need absolute commitment.

I'm afraid nothing else will do.

I always start at 7:00 PM

Yeah. Well it's been a bit of

a day today flying back

and I rang David, I left Berlin and here I am.

I'm really supposed to be getting ready

for a shoot in San Paulo.

So,

Uh, David, would you be so kind as

to open a bottle of do Perino?

I think perhaps that will be a fitting start to our session.

That'd be lovely. Oh,

What was your day today?

Oh, it was just a travel day.

I'm not gonna lie, I'm a little delicate.

Exhausted. Hey, you could say that.

What happens in Berlin States in Berlin

Is he taxing?

A little more chaotic than here All eyes on me.

I can only imagine.

Oh, I'm a runway show pony.

Last week I was Greta Garba.

I don't know who I'll be tomorrow

Come shall we Vicky?

It's the same bed I painted lip.

Where would you like, how should I sit?

Oh, you can sit however, which way you feel comfortable.

How about this? Perhaps move your left

arm further around.

Oh yes. I like this. Is that comfortable for you?

No. Why don't we try something a little more natural.

After all, we should be here rather longer

than a fashion shoot. I imagine

That is so condescending.

I built a bloody career of fashion shoots

for like 14 years now.

It's not easy.

Yeah. Perhaps you could

place your arm on this up here.

Try, right?

Oh, oh yes.

This is much better. Yes. Yes.

Okay. Now I'd like to begin with some charcoal.

Perhaps you could, uh,

Actually Lucian, I remember what you said in the gallery

about truth and ce.

I don't wanna hide anymore.

I see. Just me.

We can certainly try.

I'd like you to feel that you can be yourself.

I wanna try.

So how did it go? It was strange,

but good.

Strange. He's quite intense, isn't he?

Yeah. The house is just amazing.

I mean, all of the artwork on the walls is just crazy.

It feels like another world.

Must have been fun growing up there.

Well, Esra and I lived with my mother.

She was a bit of a free spirit.

Dad would just turn up in his Bentley.

I don't know. It made us feel like he was

breaking us outta prison.

Liberation.

How long were your parents married?

Oh, they were never married.

My dad was married twice,

but he had a lot of women in his life.

He seemed to like getting women pregnant.

And love is a very different thing with dad.

He's totally unbound by convention.

He's got something about him. I like him.

He's pain to me nude.

I wanted to, it's strange I've been nude for thousands

of photo shoots, but this just

feels like different.

Mm. Oh s**t.

Sorry. I gotta go. I've gotta go to the studio.

You know what he's like if you're late.

Of course. There you go.

How long do you think it will take?

Good question. Um, well, how big's the canvas

Like that? Oh

dear. That's quite a big one.

Uh, I'd say several months, possibly a year.

What? Yeah. Sorry. Oh my

God. Okay. I better go.

Speed things up then. Bye babe.

Bye. Have a good time. I will

Do. I'll say I see you

Dad.

Yeah.

Lucy,

Lucy,

Ian, are you okay?

Your elbow? My elbow? Uh, this one.

It needs to come down. Sorry.

I thought that you were Please move it down more.

A little more. More.

I am so sorry. I dunno. What's the matter with me?

I'm so embarrassed.

It's okay. I can understand the fear when

they have exposing themselves.

I've done it myself.

No, I get that. I've spent half my life

naked in front of the camera.

Hey, do you mind if I have another cigarette?

No, I don't usually be my guest.

I'm sorry. I just feel a bit weird.

Yeah.

What

Lucian, I think maybe you should get down, have

Welcome Back everyone, especially

to my guest in the studio today.

Kate Moss. Thank you. Kate.

I know you have an extra special song you'd like us to play.

Tell us a bit about it. Um, Mme. George,

it reminds me of every happy moment

holidays in Tuscany Cypress Avenue,

summer days driving my car

through country lanes and the sun shining

Down on Saper Avenue.

Clicking and clack

Ford Mad

March with a soldier boy behind.

He's my so now hat on drinking wine.

And that smell a sweet perfume comes drifting

all the cool

and making all the stops

kids out in the street collecting bottle

for cigarettes and mattress in the shop.

Happy and enjoy.

That's when you fall.

When he is gone.

I will have a word in his ear

and say what I was about to say at the meeting about

to happen, which has now taken place, but he said nothing

At the meeting about to take place.

It is only now that he turns

and smiles and whispers.

I do not know what will happen next.

There are schools in South London, you know? Yes.

I

How much did you know about me before this?

Not too much. Of course,

I'd seen Noah photograph in the newspapers and magazines.

How do I measure up in real life?

Would you like to be an actress perhaps one day?

No, I wouldn't have the patience

to wait on settle day in a trailer.

It's funny, when I got started,

I did this campaign with this male model.

Anyway, they obviously wanted me to go topless with him.

He was such an a*****e to me.

You wouldn't believe

I was 17 years old.

I was shy about my body and I just took it.

I stayed in bed for like two weeks after.

I think that's why I have

to play these roles in front of the camera.

I promise myself I never feel like that again.

I don't usually want people to see the real me to go inside.

That's precious, isn't it?

Anyway. Where did all this interest in me come from?

Uh, Bella told me about the, uh, magazine article.

Was it Id I I hank No, I I I'm afraid.

I don't know. I don't

Worry.

I once wrote an essay for Encounters Magazine.

It turns out the magazine was funded

by the C-I-A-A-A literary repost to the USSR.

Have you heard of it?

Uh, well, anyway, it's probably quite hard

to find a copy now,

Lucian.

It's been going around and around in my head.

The first day you sort of just froze.

What were you thinking about? Was it about a woman?

I tell you what, I I'm rather hungry. Eh, how about you?

I could eat, do fancy drink.

Well, let's go to Origin. Huh? Do you know it? Yeah,

Of course. Ah,

I'll let my drive know. He's just outside.

I'd like to drive, huh?

Yes.

True. That I be

crazy and

I don't feel as tall as I used to.

Maybe it's just,

Hey, Just two seconds.

Hey,

let's go faster.

So tell me about yourself. Lucian.

Come on Lucian. You are an interesting man.

I wanna know, you grew up in Germany.

Mm-hmm.

I was one of three boys.

My father was an architect. And your

Granddad was Sigmund Freud.

Ah, yes. But my family was a very typical

upper middle class family in the 1930s

who happened to be Jewish.

Oh my God, Yes. Quite.

What was it like? Oh, well, when I was nine years old,

we were very aware of the Nazis.

The, there was hussles everywhere for one thing.

Some of my friends were in the hit Italy.

They would say, oh, we are just going to a Nazi or rally.

And I would say, can I come?

And they would say, no, you can't,

but you're not really missing anything.

We just sing songs.

We made it sound so ordinary.

That is crazy. Uh,

I photographed Hitler.

You what? I was walking around Berlin

with my,

and there he was.

I He was really very small

because of my grandfather.

We were able to come to England.

I've been here ever since.

Do you take drugs

In my world?

No. Ever.

Do they help your creativity?

Oh, more like a bit of time off. Really.

All the photo shoots, runways of fashion, the whole world.

Sometimes I'm desperate to get away

and be normal in a weird kind of way.

Mm. What about you?

Not anymore. When I was young,

I spent time in Paris at hotel. You know it.

Yeah. I've stayed there. Ah,

Well I was sort of taken under the wing

by some very interesting people.

They introduced me to opium.

I don't know, but it's not something you want

to dance with too often.

And you've been married?

Yes. A

long time ago.

And how about you as you think you have an army of sisters?

No

Lovers. Maybe be

nobody's ever really

taken care of me.

Someone did for a bit.

That's what I miss when he left me. Someone I could trust.

Do you know what I mean?

Look Over, over there.

How dare you. How dare you. F**k.

Gentlemen. Gentlemen, please.

No, Please. I,

I, Please.

I am quite pleased with the progress.

It's coming along in a sort of overall kind of way.

You tired?

Yeah. Little. I've got a shoot tomorrow of Dazed.

Dazed. Sorry. Dazed and Confused.

It's like the coolest fashion magazine at the moment.

It's okay. It's just an editorial, so don't worry.

Isolate. You should probably get some rest.

Oh, I was curious about those tattoos.

Oh yeah. Got those ages ago.

I used to do tattoos when I was in the Merchant Navy.

Did you? Yes.

When I was 19, they were like, boy, Lou,

you are a f*****g artist.

Come and give us a tattoos. I'd see what they wanted.

Birds love hearts. How

Did you do it?

You make the drawing or rub it.

And until the scab forms

and then you prick the ink into the wound.

It's, it's very primitive.

Could you give me a tattoo?

Oh, there, they hurt a little. Mm.

You're getting closer now.

I know. No, I still feel it's some way off.

Closer perhaps, but, uh, I'm pleased with the eyes

and I'm beginning to think about the background.

Can't you do those bits without me?

I mean, if I had to go away

No, no, no, no, no, no.

That won't do. I need you here.

I absolutely need you here to see

how your All the changes, the bed, the sheets,

the color of the walls.

Yeah. I didn't know. And when I'm painting a

background, it's allowing me to see you better.

We, your head is connected to your body.

It's contours.

You know, if we spend any more time together,

people will talk.

I like to have the models around.

They Change the atmosphere with their presence.

Say the same way that Saint. Do I?

Can I offer you a, a glass of champagne before you leave?

Oh, no, I can't. I've got someone waiting for me.

Uh, another hopeful. I expect

Lucien.

I meant to say it's my birthday coming up. Mm-hmm.

And I'm having a little shindig. Do you fancy coming along?

I would like that. I would like that very much.

Um,

Is it on?

Oh, let me, Uh, hang on a second.

Go on.

Okay. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Right.

And that's recording. So,

um, oh,

I hate these things.

It's fine.

Okay. Okay.

We'll do it this way. Favorite color? What?

Come on. Black. Good. Okay.

Favorite band?

I, I don't know.

There's been so many. Lowy.

What car do you drive? A Roadster.

And what perfume are you wearing right now?

Now it's bloody amazing.

Sly 10 flew the orange.

Oh, she mag.

Okay, here's one for you.

Some people out there might say

that you are just a party girl.

Then they'd be wrong. I've been doing this since I

was 14 years old.

Jefferson. I worked bloody hard

hotel after hotel castings, hours and hours shooting.

Don't get me wrong. I love it. I got lucky.

But I mean, bloody how I have grafted

and got far out my comfort zone to be here.

I believe you. So do you see yourself

as an artist or as a muse?

Good question.

Both really. I turn up

and I do what I'm told usually.

But it's an intuitive thing between me and the photographer.

Like a collaboration Sort of.

Yeah. I mean, I bring my

perspective to whatever it is.

And then it's me.

Obviously that's what I bring.

I'm not giving it away for free.

My mother said you can't have fun all the time.

And I said, why not?

Why the f**k can't I have fun all the time?

It's only fashion for fuck's sake.

Yeah, but I mean, it can take its toll, can't it?

This live can be lonely,

I suppose. So

There've been a lot of different men

mentioned in your life recently.

I, but there's not one permanent relationship

is there?

No one out there good enough for you.

Lucian Kate.

I was just having a pause.

I didn't think we were seeing each other

till Wednesday evening. Can I get you a drink?

Yeah. But do you remember

what we spoke about a while back in origin?

We talked about many things, which I must say

I enjoy immensely.

Me too. But remember about the opium.

Oh, I remember. Got it.

Oh my God. Have forgotten that part.

Come on, Actian. Let's have some fun.

Actian. Come on.

Been married twice.

The second time I married Lady Caroline Blackwood.

I began calling her in the early fifties

when I was doing the deb scene.

I was still married for my first wife.

A lady As she was the eldest daughter

of the Doja marshes of Rine.

And Ava

struck like her and very much so.

She wore mismatch of clothes, lipstick

impulsively apply.

Like, you know, she smoked constantly.

About about a hundred a day.

She, she practically smoked in her

sleep so much.

So her nostrils were tinged black.

I found her job completely captivating heart.

She had this kind of recklessness,

complete, abandoned in a way that was not self-conscious,

but merged into, into a sort of

self centeredness.

It was there in everything she did in her appearance,

the way she carried herself.

She would do crazy things like give

Picasso drawings in the airport.

I have to say, I found it quite intoxicating.

But her mother, she thought I was ridiculous.

Married a paint a speed, which I saw sort

of was at the time.

And Jewish, I

suppose she had different aspirations to me.

Caroline was eligible but not available.

Mother tried her hardest to split us apart.

She sent reporters to investigate my private life, snooping

around outside my eyes.

She even tried to find a person to assassinate me.

Really? She sent Caroline to Spain.

So I went to find her.

I only knew the house number, but not the street there.

Do you have children? No.

She said the stress from our relationship

caused her ovaries to cease functioning correctly.

She Left you?

Yeah. Not

in many respects.

I'm not surprised. I couldn't say I was

particularly faithful.

But you continued to pay.

I tried. The awful thing was I found

that this obsession capital prevented me from working.

I lost time.

And the notion of time

When we are

Hiya, I'm looking for a magazine.

You'll find fashion on the second floor.

Actually, I'm looking over a magazine called Countess.

A July, 1954 edition.

Did you know the magazine was financed by the CIA

Brought all this way.

I'll be wishing I star,

I ellucian.

It's Kate, it's my birthday party.

Later we're gonna celebrate.

Hope you come. Make sure you look

beautiful and damned.

Okay. Bye bye bye.

You be in my,

We were just talking away And I asked

Cheeky, Can I have one of your painters?

You do me a deal. He thought about it

for a bit and he said,

let me ask my dealer, see what he can do.

I said, alright. Then we're sitting on the floor.

Phone starts ringing. Dealer answers. William.

Yes, we, and I said, hi, it's Kate Mos here.

I'm wondering if you can do me a mate's

race on Ellucian Floyd.

And Very quiet for a second. And then he said,

Kate, I'm afraid I don't do mate's race.

You are so funny. He's such a laugh. Very mood. He is.

Come. Well, let's go over here.

It's so good being there. It's so calm.

It feels like the first time I've been able

to think straight in years.

That's so nice. You're looking really well, Kate.

It's your dad's discipline.

He knows how to get what he wants.

He's always been like that.

I don't know how he does it every single

day, but I like it.

It makes you think, think a bit more laterally.

I've got the same thing. Definitely inherited.

I bet he should be his. Is he? Oh,

I couldn't leave him at alone inside, could I? Oh,

I love it. That's

wonderful. Yeah.

And I thought three full evenings a week would be enough

for you, but I'm really impressed by your dedication.

Oh, happy Birthday.

Thank You.

Hi, dad. It's nice to see you.

Yeah, You too.

Are you ready to party?

Christ, I I must confess that I, I had one

or two glasses of champagne already.

Oh, the problem is, I can't remember which one it was.

Um, Well, Kate's been telling me about the portrait.

Uh, Sounds like it's going really well.

Yes. I'm quite pleased with this.

She has the kind of physicality that I understand

And She's currently only running seven

or eight minutes late for each session.

Oh, Lucy. Yes.

Wait, there's somebody I wanted to meet.

Yes. Come with us, Bella.

No, no, you go. Oh,

Are you sure? Yeah,

it's fine. Go.

Yeah, yeah. I've gotta go Two minutes. Two minutes.

I'll be right back. What are you doing?

I know where you are going to see that person.

And that's for you to decide. Is it? I No, no, it's not.

Okay. Hey. Hi. Yeah. Hi. I'm so glad you are here.

Um, this is Ian.

Hi Lucy. And this is Jefferson.

He's the editor of Tasting

Confused.

Very nice to meet you. Uh, Jefferson.

You too. Lucian. I'm a I'm

A big fan.

Ah, uh, Kate. Um, there are some friends with

Me that I'd, uh, I'd like you to meet.

Come with. Yeah.

See Later. Oh yeah. Yo, go go.

The painter's obsession with his subject is all he needs

to drive him to work.

People Are driven towards making works about not

by familiarity with the process by which it's done,

but by a necessity

to communicate their feelings about the

object of their choice.

With such intensity

that these feelings become infectious, anxious.

Yet the painter needs

to put himself at a certain emotional distance from the

subject in order to allow it to speak.

He may smother it if he lets his passion for it.

Overwhelmed him while he's in the act or painting.

What you doing? My job.

You okay? Yeah.

I've, uh, gotta go back into town this afternoon.

There's a problem with one of the shoots.

New code. Babe, You sure?

It's just, uh, weather rules.

Having a bit of a do later should be a good one.

Oh yeah. He's having fancy coming along.

I haven't drunk a single drop in 38 days.

Jesus, you beat my record by 37.

It feels nice. Yeah,

I know.

Life, everything.

Lucien something new.

Doing different things,

doing things differently.

You,

you go back to London.

I'll be there soon. Enough working for you. Oh,

Lucian.

Lucian, where are you?

Welcome back to London. Are you okay, Lucy?

Oh, easy to say behind a painted smile.

I expect every f*****g time.

Every f*****g time. You are late.

You've got no f*****g respect. None at all.

Three evenings a week is all I ask.

And to be on f*****g time. But can you manage that?

I wonder how you manage it all. No.

No you can't because you treat all this

as some kind of f*****g game. You see?

No, This is what I do. I paint.

You ask me why I paint.

It's because it's what I like doing best, Lucy.

And I'm 12 f*****g minutes late. What's the matter?

Don't the f*****g matter f*****g me around like this.

Lucy and I have sat here for you

for these months religiously.

I have done it willingly.

I paint. I paint and I paint some more.

What happens here every day is all that matters.

You turn up when you please.

Do you think you're doing me a favor? Humor me?

Perhaps it's not about you.

This is what I care about.

This is what I think is worth preserving.

I invest everything in this.

Everything You understand everything I have.

I have a very specific way of working.

So do I. So do you what?

I work too. You do realize that,

Don't you?

These campaigns, this, this, this.

They were supposed to be here.

I passed on some of them to be here.

Some of them are long-term relationships.

A lot of people depend on me.

They listen to me. They wanna know what I

Think.

I read your article, the one in that magazine.

The painter must think of everything he sees

as being their entirely for his own use and pleasure.

Is that what I'm here for?

To be used by you and discarded like all those others

before your own f*****g children.

I am only concerned about the present

and what I am doing at this very moment.

That's b******s all that stuff about Caroline.

I saw how that hurt you.

Lucy and I have made so many sacrifices to be here for you.

And I did it because I wanted to, not because I had to.

What have you given up parties.

I haven't missed a partying.

I like coming here and then going home again.

You've taught me a lot more than I could have imagined.

Really,

The reason you are always late is

because you're on drugs.

The reason I'm late

is I'm pregnant.

Oh my, oh my, my

Who'd have thought it?

I hope I am so sorry.

I'm so happy for you. I really am.

I can tell you are going

to make the most wonderful mother.

I thought you'd be cross with mucus of the painting. No,

No, no.

I think this is the most wonderful development

and we must continue.

In fact, we will need to increase to four days a week

in order to finish that.

That is, if you have the time,

I don't think I can do this anymore.

But we are very close.

Lucy and I have never met anyone like you.

I probably never will again.

What are you painting? There is

me, the real me.

And not many people can say that.

Put this,

This Is, this is too much for me.

And now I've got this baby. I need to be present for her.

I am just who I am. I'm not responsible

for the other people you see in me.

Please. I

remember going to a party held by a friend of mine

after the divorce.

She'd rather tactically invited Caroline as well.

What did you say? I said to her,

do you think I am made of wood?

A fossil may lie hidden,

preserved in its natural sarcophagus for thousands of years

before someone may stumble across it.

I'm sorry. I truly am.

This Is, this is Kate Moss and uh, she's

You

It is crazy Bella.

Me and mommy. You're gonna be the best mommy I can tell.

That's what your dad said. Oh, well, it's true.

He's been so good.

I can tell that he's getting the painting done before I,

or before I pop.

It's also

passionate, but it is.

I don't think he'd do the same thing for anyone else.

Hiya. Hi. I'm running so short on time.

I thought it'd be good if you joined us, if that's okay.

I couldn't think of a better combination. Nice to see you.

I've taken your seat. Yeah, I noticed. Ah, thank you.

It's good to see you And you

Someone to bring it into you straight.

It really, really get around, really want it.

What's everything I need now?

Hello. Oh my God.

Really? What, what do you, alright, I'm, I'm leaving now.

Okay. Is everything all right?

Oh, it's just a problem with the house.

It'll be okay, but I've gotta go sort it. I'm so sorry.

You go. Yeah.

We'll stay. Bye.

Oh, how are you, dad? Thank you.

Keep that empty yourself. Me. I will.

How are you? Yeah, I'm great. Yeah. Dealing

My idiot.

Never. Oh yes.

I never thought

You'll be doings the

Hello?

Hello, Kate, it's Lucian

Lucian.

Hi. How are you? Very

Well, thank you.

How are your preparations coming along?

Oh, it's all a bit crazy.

I've been packing and repacking my hospital pack.

Marvelous. Yeah.

It's, it's surprising even to me how organized I've become.

Look, I'm sorry I haven't been around recently.

I feel guilty about what you said about

my aura and all that.

I believe it's finished. What? The painting?

Yes. I'd been studying it

and studying it for a very long time

and there was nothing else to do,

so I thought I'd leave it there. Oh

My God.

How does it look?

Perhaps you should come over and judge for yourself.

Okay. I'll see you soon.

Are You here? We miss you. Come, come.

No, no, no. Wait, wait. Let me help you.

Thank you. Oh, you look wonderful.

Oh, I, I'm so pleased to see you.

I have said it before you,

but I'm gonna give it to you later.

Yeah. It's very early,

but I find the model Julia most fascinating.

A good sitter.

Julia, she seems sweet.

Mm-hmm. Where'd you find her?

Oh, she's the daughter of a butcher. It was a waitress

Was, Yes.

She quit her job in order for me to paint her

quite an admirable sacrifice. Them you think

Bloody. How

Quite.

And here we are.

Wow. Lucy,

is this how you see me?

Well, it's every time I see the pen, really?

My, my bump hit.

It's not,

Oh. What do you think?

Um, I'm not sure.

I thought we, I thought we Hi. Okay. Sorry. Sorry.

Lucian Fred is here.

Oh, thank you David. Uh, would you please help me

to set up, I'm telling you.

Sorry, Kate, but I need to prepare for my next sitting

Freddy is, is my new model.

Your son Freddy?

Yes. Actually, he's become a very good siter.

Okay, well, well, I bet get going anyway.

Hey, Lucy. I'll, I'll be seeing you.

Uh, thank you Kate. Yeah, well, whatever.

Wait.

There is a distinction between

fact and truth.

Truth has an element of revelation about it.

If something is true, it does more than strike one

as million being so, you

are extraordinary.

'cause you are ordinary,

and I mean this in the best possible way.

My painting of you was perhaps the hardest I have ever done

for many reasons, which I, I shouldn't bother you with.

But I feel privileged to have spent time with you.

But the painting is your truth.

And it is my truth.

Jefferson. Okay.

You right Jesus. Yeah. Oh, she's coming.

Yeah. Okay. Uh,

oh.

Hi you David. Hey.

Oh. So lovely to see you. How is he?

Um, he's okay. He gave us all a bit of a fry.

All he is like, lemme come in. Please

Come

Lucian, Kate.

Oh, Wonderful.

Oh, Lucian, I saved a place for you.

I've brought someone to meet you.

Who?

Oh. Oh.

How I say, what's your name?

Lila Grace. What a beautiful name.

Come here. I want

to see you closer.

I won. Get you just

as beautiful as your mother.

Why don't you go and see David for a cup of tea.

Mommy just needs to have a little chat with Lucy.

Jackie's been behaving himself.

Come on. There we go. So, hi. Come on.

What happened?

Well, this, uh,

chap was making a surrealist film

from one of my paintings.

He brought in a zebra, a real zebra

to field next to me.

Really? Terrific.

Anyway, I, I gave it a,

a pat on the nose,

but I frightened it, it bolted.

But I was holding the rains. I couldn't let go.

Lucy, you really must be more careful.

I was worried about you.

I'm fine. They scanned my head.

But it was really my balls that hurt most.

They Dragged all over the place.

The grace is, she's lovely.

She has your morale, huh? Unfortunately, her thing,

She's my everything.

I love her so much.

I'd like to paint her. That'd be lovely.

Lucian. You know, when I first saw it,

I couldn't understand

it, but now I do.

That was me then.

Isn't David lovely

Facebook?

I am very tired.

You think you could just lie here for while?

Can lie here for as long as you like.

Thank You.

A moment of complete happiness

never occurs in the creation of a work of art.

The Promise of it is felt in the act of creation

disappears towards the completion of the,

it is this great insufficiency that drives him on.

Thus, the process of creation becomes necessary

to the painter more than is the picture.

The process is in fact, habit forming.
